Are you housing them together? If not, then he most likely needs time to settle in.

Fill in the ask for help form in the stickies at the top of the health forum.

No they stay alone. I made an another terrarium for female

I was in a similar situation as you. I got a new chameleon and he wouldn't eat. After some time he got settled in and now he eats like a pig. Don't worry. Just make sure your temps are all good. Good luck!

Try different feeders. Hornworms are awesome, any other worms work well: silk, wax, butter.

They can take a few days to settle in but new food helps.

I cut top part of terrarium. I think its enough ? I want to ask another question. When he show full color ? I saw a lot of blue bar chameleons and they have got a lot of color (red, yellow, blue, green etc.) But mine only green and sometimes show blue bar.
